If we go way back, I started a website for myself where I could upload bunches of information and store critical links for use from project to project. I shared the link with some people, and then kept adding things and then, it was an actual website. Simply put, LineProducing.com was born out of a desire to share information. Everything about this website promotes open communication and helping others do the best job they can. It took me a long time to get where I am today and I return the favor of those who showed me the way, by sharing what I know.

Enjoy and please do me a favor, pass the sharing along. Have an idea to add to the site? Share it with me.

I gained experience working in various positions in feature films, television, and reality since 1986. With a varied background working in development, production, post and marketing; shooting worldwide in 18 countries, I understand the details of movie making while always aiming to keep the larger-scope issues in mind.

In 2001, I worked as the UPM overseeing the Mexico shoot on Ghosts of the Abyss under the direction of James Cameron (Avatar, Titanic). As a UPM, I worked on smaller independent and large studio-based feature films, from $1M to over $140M. He was accepted as a member of the Director’s Guild of America as a Unit Production Manager in 2008. Yay, me.

Steve McEveety (Passion of the Christ, Braveheart) hired me in 2007 as VP of Production & Post for Mpower Pictures. While there, I worked on a number of projects including The Stoning of Soraya M. and the family drama, Snowmen. I was also given the opportunity to assist with both development and marketing, further increasing his understanding of the business. He also managed the Oscar campaign for one of their films.

I was the UPM on Marco Polo (which I believe still currently stands as the most expensive first season series in history) and I did a stint at Paramount TV ostensively filling in as VP of Production. I was also recently given my first DGA opportunity to direct, which I did for the second unit on a $40M feature film. That was fun.

Aside from keeping this site running and updated, I also moderate a Reddit (r/FilmTVBudgeting). I support the charity Win Place Home, which rescues and cares for ex-racehorses. I also am an avid board and video game player. That's my jam.

IN CASE IT MATTERS TO YOU...

Crew and Vendors which I may highlight on this site are done at my preference only. I reserve the right to include or exclude anything I see fit.
